    The Ritz Theatre in Toccoa will kick off the eighth season of its Night at the Ritz series on Friday, Sept. 13, with the Piatigorsky Foundation presenting classical guitarist Jack Sanders. 

    Then, three days later, Bachelors Of Broadway: Gentlemen of the Theatre will take the stage Sept. 16 with another not-to-miss show.

    Soloist, chamber musician, and teacher, Sanders’ performances have included the Sitka Summer Music Festival, Kapalua Music Festival of Hawaii, Arrowhead Bach Festival, and solo appearances with numerous orchestras.

    Radio appearances have included NPR’s nationally broadcast 'West Coast Live.'

    Jack Sanders’ performance is free of charge.

    The Bachelors of Broadway takes a trio of dashing men, adds soaring melodies from stage and screen, and refines the sound with contemporary three-part vocal harmonies.

    This brand-new, three-man act features lush symphonic arrangements of songs from modern and classic musicals such as Wicked, Phantom Of The Opera, Jersey Boys, 42nd Street, Miss Saigon, The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen, Les Miserables, and many more. Starring New York City’s top theatrical talent, Bachelors of Broadway offers a fresh take on audience favorites that have captivated millions worldwide.

    Tickets for Bachelors of Broadway can be purchased at the Main Street Office inside Toccoa City Hall, at the theatre’s box office the night of each show, or online at ritztheatretoccoa.com. 

    The Night at the Ritz series is partly sponsored through grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Georgia Council for the Arts.
